(Sir) Cliff Richard is a UK singer with a career of frightening
longevity. Performers elsewhere may want to choose an equivalent
local musical legend (in the US Elton John has been used).

St
Michael is (was?) the Marks & Spencer retail brand name, famous in the
UK
but perhaps this line will not mean much in some other places.
Suggestions for other angelic wordplays to use as the last line elsewhere are
welcomed.

Originally
performed by Godfrey
Rust
and Adrian Jones at the carol service at St John’s,
West Ealing
in 1992. It can be read with one or two voices.

A version scripted for two
voices is here. The
reader holds a pencil and a script attached to a clipboard, marking the
script up as s/he goes through it and comments.
